Mexico’s foreign Exchange earnings from tourism increased 7 percent during the first quarter of 2013, according to the World Tourism Organization, an agency of the United Nations. Better still, the WTO reported, Mexico has increased its earnings by more than 50 percent during the past decade. Air arrivals increased by 6.8 percent. This was the good news. The WTO also reported that Mexico has dropped from being the 10th most visited country on the plant to the 13th. Tourism Minister Claudia Ruiz Massieu, noting the decline, pointed out that until last December officials belonging to an opposition political party had been in charge of tourism in Mexico.
